The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak ENGLISH REVIEW as a Newcomer... a MASTERPIECE?
NO SPOILERS! We're jumping into our first Trails game The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak. Thanks to NIS America for sending over the new English language release of the game. Can you start here? Or do you need to go back to the first PSP game? I spent over 25 hours diving early into the game and here are my thoughts. Is it a JRPG masterpiece?

Relaxing Game Collection Tour Trying to Get My Games Organized | Clayton Morris Plays
If you wait a bit there remaking metal gear solid three with modern controls and then they said I think they said they’re gonna remake metal gear solid one
Even going back as far as the first Trails of Cold Steel game I felt bombarded with pre-established terminology and world building.
I really like your vibes and the way you deliver the info ❤ so, definitely a like and a sub from me 👍🏼 it's funny that you're the third UA-camr I hear saying they fell asleep during the game 😂 I'm glad the game is out cuz I really wanted to try a Trails game without being intimidated to play another 10 games in a row.
Thank you. It’s a pretty chill game.
YS X or The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak? Which one do you recommend?
Well I haven't played YS X yet.
I disagree about the quart system opinion, i absolutely enjoy building my own charaters and putting hours into it, understanding the system and eventually breaking it.
I'm in the same boat as yourself never played a single trails game and debating if I should jump into daybreak or start with the first sky game.
The more I hear from long time Trails fans, Daybreak is a perfect place to start.
dadddyu 546654
3:18 Van's not in past games proper but Daybreak does seem to put him in story as someone who worked in the background of them including apparently being one of the many people fighting during the climax of Cold Steel 4.
Awesome video Clayton! This is a game I myself have wanted to play , I’m curious have you ever heard of tales of arise ? Or have you also played the original Final Fantasy 7? A few other great JRPG’s. Keep up the great work and have a blast with the game .
Yes I’ve heard of it and I bought it on PS5. Haven’t played it yet. Yes I loved the original FF 7.
What happened to Redacted and the news? In these trying times we need to know what’s going on in our evil world, not what games a grown man is playing. A GROWN MAN?!?
This grown man is a kid at heart and will never stop enjoying life. And Redacted is on hiatus while we build our new studio and take some time off for the 4th of July break.
I cannot believe how many games you have or how you possibly have the time to play them. I had Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, and my absolute favorite Turbografx 16. No system but the TG-16 had more than 15 games. The TG-16 had more because when going out of business the games were $5 and I got maybe 30 more games (including Bonk 3). Your Switch games alone must have cost you a small fortune. I pretty much went to PC gaming after the Dreamcast and rarely ever play the old games. I did get an XBOX Series X (an amazing system) just to play Forza 5 but other than that it's PC only.
I love that these videos exist
as a rich old white guy, Bill Gates sould also be kicked off the microsoft board
If you weren't a kid and had other responsibilities back then, I can see how someone may have missed the game.
Metal gear was my first game for every console. Dam they where good 👍
Loved it so much fun when I was a little one 😆👍
Great game with terrible action combat element and downgraded UI in comparison to CS or Reverie.
Can you please talk about Skibidi Toilet joining the woke Mob? This is a really pressing matter...
Can you talk about Skibidi Toilet joining the woke mob? It is really pressing...
I think some of this “anxiety” when it comes to backlog has to do with feeling like you are wasting resources, whether it’s space or money, on the items in the backlog. If you feel this way, might want to look at your backlog and sell items you know you won’t play. Also, start buying games much cheaper.
I loved hearing the perspective of a new fan! I started in the middle of the series as well (in cold steel which is game 6) and ended up loving it so much I went back to the first game. It's great to hear you loved daybreak. I'm excited to get my hands on it and I hope in the meantime you do get a chance to experience trails in the sky onward!
GENE, MEME, SCENE, SENSE(4).
When this game do come out I can’t find it anywhere.
Comes out July 5th.
Have you tried previous trails game?
No as I mentioned in the title and the video I'm a newcomer to the series and I've never played one before.
I’m just starting Xeboblade Chronocles on my Switch. Never played a JRPG in my life, so I’m curious where it takes me.
Oh man I wish I could go back and experience this game again for the first time.
11:18 what is it with eastern game devs and these dumb cat quests? Just played stellar blade and the first side quest I got was go find a cat and the cat was dead lol
Why am I just seeing this now? Clayton is a gamer? And this is legendary game.

You can enjoy it with no problem, but seeing grown up characters from previous games will mean nothing to you. Hope newcomers go back and play the previous entries.
Great video, yeah i have my preorder locked in waiting for delivery for Friday's release date. I played the first two chapters during the demo release. I agree with you regarding the quartz system. It actually worked really well in the latest Western release of Trails into Reveire as well as the Cold Steel arc but i am not happy with the direction they took with this latest release. But like any RPG i will just get used to it and get over it. (I am still bitter about losing the epic Final Fantasy X battle system in recent FF releases) Great review / opnions about the game.
From just a resolution standpoint, localization changes and fluidity I'd advise you to play the Trails in the Sky Trilogy, Azure duology AND Cold Steel quadrilogy PC ports as opposed to PSP. Steam or GOG (options abound). Welcome to the greatest RPG series ever made. EDIT ON SIDEQUESTS: Now, HERE is the con as to unfortunately not having started from the beginning of this series for you. Sidequests are typically a big deal when it comes to character cameos or extra story revelations throughout the series. Especially in Cold Steel installments in my experience. Though I will admit that making sidequests much more involved (a la Red Baron "The Witcher 3" style) would serve as an added evolution factor.
Trails series are so good. I'm just finishing Trails in the Sky the 3rd. Trying to do the series in the original order. Lots of games !
Would be nice to get more modern versions of Ys 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
I don't like the gems and quarters stuff as well in the games.
Really hope we get a newer version of Ys 1&2.
You want another good game Clayton check out the legend of Nayuta boundless trails.
Oh nice. I'll check it out.
Personally I've enjoyed the Ys series more but still trying to make time to play Ys 9 so I can be ready for 10.
4 games physically on PSP in English a tear of vermilion, the prophecy of the moonlight witch, songs of the ocean, trails in the sky chapter 1 which you can play 1 out of those 4 on Steam the trails in the sky series which includes chapter 2 and 3 when you get them on Steam trails of cold steel 1,2 on PS3 trails of trails of cold steel 1,2,3,4 on PS4 & Steam think switch to trails into reverie PS4 & Steam think switch to. Trails the zero and trails to azure PS4 & Steam switch to I think and now trails of daybreak being the most recent. If you want to play the 3 they never ported over to modern consoles or steam you will need a PSP 1000,2000,3000 to play them since they are UMD's.
I see you got your copy Clayton still waiting to get mine in the mail.
Fantastic review! I need to get back into Trails. I haven't played one in a hot minute. (Also your trail looks breathtaking, crazy view!)
Thanks a ton!
You don't need to even get a PSP to start, literally all the Trails games are on PC
Yeah my problem is I'm a physical game guy. But trying to get over that a little bit. Might be buying a Steam Deck in my future.
rambling on and on and on....
I bought this super excited to play only to learn it was going to be patched to English next week.... *DEEP SIGH*
Hmmm. Patched to English? This is a true localized version with all English voice actors. So I'm not sure who told you that. This version that is in English releases on July 5th.
@@ClaytonMorris The Steam forums are pretty clear about it. Many people like me bought this version because the store page does NOT say it's in Japanese. I guess to make it simpler, they are "patching" the game to English.
If you do play through the other games, something to make your life easier, especially the Sky series is to read the bracer/police/student guide in game. It gives a list of quartz values to give you different spells.
Falling asleep to a game. Not even the first reviewer to say they fell asleep to this game. Not thanks.
To be fair, I have noticed that "Find the Cat" quests can be found throughout JRPGs. Final Fantasy, Persona, Xenoblade, Dragon Quest, Star Ocean, etc. As I was telling my friend the other day while I was playing the demo for Trails Through Daybreak and came upon the cat quest, I almost expect it now as a trope. Perhaps it's a nod to the notion of "Save The Cat" in fiction writing, in which a writer makes a main character seem endearing to readers early by having them perform an altruistic deed, like saving a cat. Saving a cat is just an example, but games seem to take this quite literally. I've noticed that these Save the Cat quests usually appear early on in games as well. So when I come across these quests, I kind of see it as a developer's tongue-in-cheek nod to the fiction writing technique.
That cat side quest is actually super important. You will see by the end why the game asks you to slow down and do side quests like that, its essential to the world buliding but particually that first village is really speific. Trails games are at thier best when you speak to every npc and do every side quest. I get why you could bounce off them but the way the games are written side quests will activley change the story and will carry over mutiple entires in the series.
That's a nice beach you're walking on. Nice insights. But is it the best of the series? I'd say only a series veteran can answer that question. Good newcomer perspective though.
For sure. I don't claim to be anything other than a newcomer to the series.
hey man nice review! i've never play a trails game before too so knowing that i can just start here with Daybreak helps alot. Definitely will pickup this game soon
Trails through Daybreak is the best video game ever, to me
